Waxy endosperm (wx), shrunken endosperm (sh), and yellow seedlings (v) are encoded by three recessive genes in corn that are linked on chromosome 5. A corn plant homozygous for all three recessive alleles is crossed with a plant homozygous for all the dominant alleles. The resulting F1 are then crossed with a plant homozygous for the recessive alleles in a three-point testcross. The progeny of the testcross are wx sh V 87 Wx Sh v 94 Wx Sh V 3,479 wx sh v 3,478 Wx sh V 1,515 wx Sh v 1,531 wx Sh V 292 Wx sh v 280 Total 10,756 a. Determine the order of these genes on the chromosome. b. Calculate the map distances between the genes. c. Determine the coefficient of coincidence and the interference among these genes.

A plant geneticist is examining the mode of inheritance of flower color in two closely related species of exotic plants. The first species may have two pure-breeding lines—one produces a distinct red flower; and the other produces flowers with no color at all, or very pale yellow flowers. However, she cannot be sure. A cross of these varieties produces all pink-flowered progeny. The second species exhibits similar pure-breeding varieties; that is, one variety produces red flowers; and the other produces an albino or very pale yellow flower. A cross of these two varieties, however, produces orange-flowered progeny exclusively. Analyze the mode of inheritance of flower color in these two plant species.
In Mendelfruit plants, fruit may be either round (RR), long (rr) or oval (Rr). Cross two oval-fruit plants. What is the phenotypic ratio of the resulting offspring? (what do they LOOK LIKE?) Cross a round-fruit plant and an oval-fruit plant. Give the phenotypic ratio of the offspring.
Waxy endosperm (wx), virescent seedling (v), and shrunken endosperm (sh) are all recessive mutants in corn. Waxy and shrunken are both on chromosome IX, located 18 map units apart. Virescent is on chromosome V and is not linked to the other loci. A strain of corn that is homozygous for waxy and virescent is crossed to a strain that is homozygous for shrunken endosperm. The F1 were entirely wild type. An F1 individual was then test crossed to a strain that is homozygous for waxy, virescent, and shrunken. Of 1,000 offspring, how many of the offspring will be virescent and shrunken, but not waxy? Using the information from Problem 1, how many of the offspring will be waxy, virescent, and shrunken?
In a variety of newly discovered rose plant, flowers are either white or red. Two genes were discovered to control flower color. Both genes, A and B, work in tandem in a biochemical pathway, and dominant forms of both genes are required for red flowers. A doubly-homozygous red-flowered plant is crossed with a doubly-homozygous white-flowered plant. The F1 offspring all have red flowers and are self-crossed to produce the F2. Determine the ratios of phenotypes in the F2 generation.
In tomatoes, tall plant (D) is dominant over dwarf plant (d) and smooth fruit (H) is dominant over hairy fruit (h). A farmer crosses a tall plant with smooth tomatoes (plant A) with a dwarf and hairy fruit plant (plant B) and obtains the following results: Phenotype Offspring Tall & smooth fruit 3 Tall and hairy fruit 84 Dwarf and smooth fruit 88 Dwarf & hairy fruit 4 Which of the following can be used to represent the genotype of plant A in the question above? (lines represent homologous chromosomes)
In corn, the allele f ′ causes floury endosperm and the allele f ″ causes flinty endosperm. In the cross f ′/f ′ ×f ″/f ″, all the progeny endosperms are floury, but, in the reciprocal cross, all the progeny endosperms are flinty. What is a possible explanation? (Check the legend for Figure 2-7.)
The trait for medium-sized leaves in iris is determined by the genetic condition PP'. Plants with large leaves are PP, whereas plants with small leaves are P'P'. The trait for red flowers is controlled by the genes RR, pink by RR', and white by R'R'. A cross is made between two plants each with medium-sized leaves and pink flowers. If they produce 640 seedlings, what would be the expected phenotypes, and in what numbers would they be expected? View keyboard shortcuts EditViewInsertFormatToolsTable 12pt Paragraph

In cucumbers, dull fruit (D) is dominant over glossy fruit (d), orange fruit (R) is dominant over cream fruit (r), and bitter cotyledons (B) are dominant over non-bitter cotyledons (b). The three characters are encoded by genes located on different pairs of chromosomes. A plant homozygous for dull, orange fruit and bitter cotyledons is crossed with a plant that has glossy, cream fruit and non-bitter cotyledons. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. Q. An F1 plant is crossed with a plant that has glossy, cream fruit and nonbitter cotyledons. Give the phenotypes and expected proportions among the progeny of this cross.
